Empowering 1 Million with Spoken English and Libertarian Values
This project from the Centre for Civil Society addresses two pervasive challenges in Indian society: (1) Poor knowledge of English, particularly in disadvantaged communities. (2) A prevalent bias towards Nehruvian socialism. The project aims to train 5,000 teachers over the three-year project period to improve spoken English skills for 1 million students currently attending low-fee private schools in India--incorporating classical liberal content in the curriculum.
